Abstract
Introduction The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants or “Melbourne Code” (McNeill & al. in Regnum Veg. 154. 2012, hereafter “Code”) was published on 19 December 2012. It incorporates the changes that were adopted on 30 July 2011 at the XVIII International Botanical Congress in Melbourne, Australia, to the previous edition, the “Vienna Code” (McNeill & al. in Regnum Veg. 146. 2006). In accordance with its Division III (Provisions for the Governance of the Code), the Code may be modified only by action of a plenary session of an International Botanical Congress on a resolution moved by the Nomenclature Section of that Congress. The next Congress will be held in Shenzhen, China, in July 2017. The Nomenclature Section will meet from 18–22 July prior to the scientific sessions of the Congress (23–29 July; see http://www. ibc2017.cn/Dates.htm).
